Unleashing the Terrifying Crossover: Demystifying The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Crossplay

With the launch of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, players of multiplayer survival horror are excited to discover more about the game's online features. However, there has been controversy surrounding a specific multiplayer aspect during the game's development: Crossplay. Gamers want to know if they can play as either Victims or Family members with their friends on different platforms. Thus, this is a comprehensive guide to cross-platform play in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, addressing all questions and concerns.

Does the Game Have Crossplay?

Crossplay is available for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S, allowing players from different platforms to play together. However, it's important to note that cross-gen functionality is not supported. This means that players using Xbox One and PS4 can only join lobbies with other players on the same platform.

How Does the Crossplay Work in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre?

Four Victims and three Family members can join the same lobby to participate in crossplay. Regardless of whether they have a new-gen console or are playing on PC (Steam or Windows), all players on both teams can run the game on different platforms. To identify each teammate's platform, console or PC icons will be displayed next to their names. It is worth noting that joining a lobby as a team of four will always result in playing as Victims.

How to Invite Cross-Platform Friends

To invite friends from other platforms, players will require an invitation code. The host can obtain the code by accessing the "Party Options" and choosing the "Create Party" option. This code can then be shared with cross-platform players, who can enter it in the "Join Lobby" section within the "Party Options." Adding friends from the same platform can be done directly from the player's friend list, without any extra steps.

How to Enable Cross-Platform Play

PS5 players should go to Options, navigate to the Game tab, and enable Crossplay. On the other hand, Xbox Series users need to follow these steps: Go to Settings, click on Account, then select Privacy and Online Safety, followed by Xbox Privacy. Next, click on View Details and Customize. In this section, they should choose "Allow" under the tab labeled "You Can Join Cross-Network Play."

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Crossplay Not Working

Some players on Xbox Series X|S are experiencing multiplayer errors when attempting to connect with friends. In order to resolve this issue, it is necessary to change the NAT type from Strict to a different setting. To achieve this, players must perform port forwarding for the Xbox services ports, specifically TCP: 53, 80, 3074 and UDP: 53, 88, 500, 3074, 3544, 4500.

If the issue persists, consider contacting the manufacturer of the router or the ISP.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
